Which names are repeated in your child’s class

[AutoFillUsername]

We are in London and my girls have so many repeated names in their classes. But the repeats don’t match the top 5 names for their birth year which is interesting.

Where do you live and what names double up in your child’s class?

DD is in a year 7 cohort with:
5 x Isabella
3 x Matilda/Tilly/Tilda
3 x Sophia
2x Eloise
2x Florence

DD2 is in a year 4 class of 30 with
4x Daisy
2x Zoe
2x Milly

I can't believe I forgot about Harry

Sam x 2
Morgan x 2 (1 Male 1 female)
Daniel x 2
Amy x 2
Joe x 2

DS1 2x Amina
Ds2 2x Suliman

Ella x 3, Charlie x 3, Connor x 2.
I once taught a class with 7 Kate/Katies!

I'm really surprised that you know the names of the other kids. I'm pretty sure there were two Harry's at one point but obviously one or both of the. Could be a Henry.

Racecar - I know the names of the other kids at primary school, but not for my DC1 at secondary.

This is nothing new. Back in the 80s, my year group contained 5 Sharons out of 70 girls...

We're in Australia and in my daughters preschool of 30 children there isn't one repeat. People are a bit more 'out there' with names here so maybe there's a wider variety. E.g there's a Soren, Romy, Sia, Taj, Sorrel...

We have 2 x Gracie-Mae, both of whose surnames begin with the same letter!

Forgot Macauley- there are two of those too.

Y4 class of 30: 2 Mollys, 3 Graces, 2 Callums, 2 Olivers, and 2 Oscars.
Y3 class of 30: 2 Finns, 2 Joshuas, 2 Toms
Reception class of 30: No doubled-up names!

My DCs primary year groups have

2x Charlie (1boy and 1 girl)
2x Sophia
2x Emily

DD reception class of 30 there are no repeats, but I know there are 2x Daniel in the year group of 60, one in each class. I only know a few names in the other class though.
In my year group of possibly around 80 or so (can't remember!) there were 4 x Matthew (3 in one class) and 3 x Helen, 2x Claire and for a short time 2 x my name.

Year 2

X2 Eva
X2 Max
X2 Jacob
X2 Dylan

That's all, well all I can remember anyway.

Ds year (215 ish kids). Yr 10.

There are 5 Thomas/Tomás

He is one, his best friend is 1 and he can't stand another 😂

In DDs Yr 1 group there are
2xOliver
2x Harvey
2 x Lacey
2x William
3 x George
2 x Tyler
2 x Isla

Oscar, Max, and Lucas are all multiples
As are Aurora and Sophie

In dd’s Year
2xGeorgia
2xHenry and a Harry
2xAmelia

Grace
Sophia

Others too but they pale into insignificance compared to how often these two are repeated at my DDs' school! Lovely names, though.

I visit different schools/classes with my job.

In one class there are four Finleys (different spellings though).

In another there are three Leons.

This is nothing new. Back in the 80s, my year group contained 5 Sharons out of 70 girls...

But some people are implying that this happens less nowadays as there are more names to choose from.

According to this thread it still seems to be an issue

None in my Y1 class. London also, with lots of parents of various nationalities.

No repeats in either of my kids classes.

Although there is a Jimmy and a James (he goes by Jimmy. That's his given name, not sure about his BC name though!)

In Cumbria:

DS1 is in Y5:
Sophie x4
James x3
Joseph x2
Harriet x2
Ellie x2

DD is in Y1:
Ava/Eva x3
Grace x3
Oscar x2
Thomas/Tom x2

DS2 nursery:
Isabelle/Isobel x5!
Evie x4
Ella x3
Harry x3
Matilda/Tilly x3

My oldest is 9 and there is
Emily x2
Ethan x2
Those are only repeated names and my son is the only one with his name in the entire school.

My youngest is 3 and in nursery
Amelia x2
That's only repeated name in his class his name is also the only one in entire school
